With the LG G2, the Korean company introduced a nifty double-tap to wake and sleep feature. Soon after, the company introduced Knock Code on the G Pro 2 and other devices that allows users to wake up and unlock their device by tapping in a certain pattern on the screen.
A new report states that LG could be looking to reduce prices of the G Pro 2 and the G2 flagships once the Samsung Galaxy S5 arrives in the market in mid-April. It is said that the G Pro 2 is currently outselling the G2 despite being a phablet, so it’s feasible to slash prices in order to make them more attractive to the buyers.
Two of the most popular Korean operators, SKT and LG U+, are in the midst of pushing out an unexpected over-the-air (OTA) update to all Optimus G Pro handsets located in South Korea. In terms of functionality, the upgrade brings Android 4.4.2 KitKat and Sense 5.5 to the device, complete with the usual plethora of bug fixes, speed optimizations and stability improvements that we’ve grown to expect from any major software update.
After announcing that it will begin taking Galaxy S5 pre-orders starting tomorrow, AT&T confirmed pricing and availability for Samsung’s new smartwatch family in the U.S.
Like the handset, the Galaxy Gear 2, Galaxy Gear 2 Neo, and Galaxy Gear Fit will be available in early April, and prices start at $199. Those who buy a Galaxy S5 before June 5 will get $50 off the Galaxy Gear of their choice.
LG is preparing a new wearable for launch this year — but it won’t be a new smartwatch or fitness tracker. Instead, it’ll be little more than a colorful stylus you can wear around your wrist.
